​7yo 'miracle girl' walks away from plane crash that killed 4

As a plane crashed in Kentucky, killing 4 people, a 7-year-old girl managed not only to survive the accident - she walked away from the wreckage and reported the accident to a local resident.

The accident happened
when a small Piper PA-34-200T aircraft reported engine trouble
and lost contact with air traffic controllers while flying over
southwestern Kentucky, the Federal Aviation
Administrationsaid.

Police officers were alerted after they received a call from a
resident in Lyon County, Kentucky, who said a 7-year-old girl
walked to his home and reported the crash, Sergeant Dean
Patterson of Kentucky State Police said in the official
statement.

"This girl came out of the wreckage herself and found the
closest residence and reported the plane crash," Patterson
said. "It's a miracle in a sense that she survived it, but
it's tragic that four others didn't."

The girl, who suffered emotional distress, was taken to hospital
with non-life-threatening injuries, while emergency crews headed
to the area of the crash and found a small plane.
